Langar returned to coaching after a two-year hiatus.

Captain Pat Cummins said on Tuesday there are "no cowards" in the Australia cricket team and that the players had not been distracted by former head coach Justin Langer's inflammatory comments.

New coach Justin Langer says the Australian side were behaving like "spoilt brats" ahead of the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal and Steve Smith wasn't a strong enough leader to handle the situation.

Former opening batsman Justin Langer is to take control of Australia's Twenty20 team for a second time, on a temporary basis, in February.
